I haven't read the whole thread I am so important I don't care if this has been said fifty times already, it's not been said until I've said it.

AIBU? give me some sympathy and agree with me

I don't mean any offence but... I am a twat

I'm not being rude but... I am a twat

There must be more. Snark away...

...and to continue BOF's scenario 'my parents died a tragic death on The Herald of Free Enterprise/the Thai Tsunami/9/11 and I'm now a 17 year old orphan putting myself through school while my wicked Uncle steals all my money...

'I may be wrong, but...' = I'm not wrong, I'm never wrong, I never will be wrong, and you should listen to my very interesting opinion.

hey norks/lougle... be careful, I was talking about myself! Grin

"I am a 19 year old virgin University student with a complex legal problem related to my dead parents' will and am considering lapdancing as a possible lucrative sideline while the family farm is divided before my forthcoming marriage" = I am wanking furiously

hahaha xposts with you, Norks.

lougle · 04/04/2013 23:10

I stand by my principled objection, Maryz . Although I can't disagree with anything anyone has said either.

'My DD was enjoying an organic fruit juice and a savoury pastry, when...' = 'DD was chowing down a fruit shoot and a Greggs sausage roll, when....'

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 23:10

Yes avril and that goes for all the 'always buy organic' ; 'never eat at Greggs'; 'would rather have no meat if it wasn't free range' crowd.

I really do need to go to bed. Am getting grumpy

AvrilPoisson · 04/04/2013 23:07

I don't have a television= I am better than yow

AvrilPoisson · 04/04/2013 23:06

"Speaking as a woman" = MRA using a simpering girly pseudonym eg SassySusie, FeistyFiona

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 23:03

'spirited DC' = middle class for 'naughty'

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 23:01

Ooh, yes BOF...

"as a mere male" = 'as your natural superior, I will now mansplain'

"Good evening ladies" = I am a humungous bellend, and about to patronise the fuck out of you all while I masturbate.

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:53

Mumsnet royalty= people I don't know but everyone else seems to.

Oh dear, I seem to be on a roll here.
Please will someone put me to bed?

lougle · 04/04/2013 22:53

What the poster is, is irrelevant, though, isn't it? Still not on to attack a poster personally. But let's not analyse the rights and wrongs and derail this very funny thread Smile

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:52

tee :o

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:51

I have no idea what you could possibly be talking about lougle I think I have described generic types fairly accurately. Maybe I have conflated several ideas into one sentence and it reminds you of someone, but that is a mere coincidence.

I am not a troll=I am a troll

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 22:50

Which one? The island thing? If that's real and specific? The poster is a twat.

Yes.

All the other ones Norks suggested are great, though Smile

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 22:43

Hmm seriously?
